I grew up in Weston-super-Mare, England. I moved to the States as a child and now reside just outside of Ithaca, NY.

I was working with a temp agency that informed me of an opportunity at PSD. I applied and was hired and have enjoyed learning about energy efficiency since I came on board.
3. What does a day in Dylan’s life at PSD look like?
Onboarding and offboarding take up most of my daily duties. I also, take care of our staff at all levels, and in any technology-related situations.

Collaboration. My work at PSD allows me to collaborate with multiple different departments and employees at all levels. I enjoy every minute of being able to work with other employees.
5. What is your favorite PSD-related memory?
The All Company meeting last October was my favorite PSD memory. I enjoyed meeting everyone face to face and even got to speak in front of everyone. It was something I will never forget.

If I’m not working, I am traveling or playing Star Citizen.
7. Do you have any pets?
No pets at the moment, but hopefully, down the road, I would like to get a border collie.
8. What is your favorite holiday?
The Christmas season is my favorite because no one is working, and there are no IT issues.

I travel back home to the UK fairly often. It is one of my favorite places to explore.

5 Finger Death Punch
11. What’s the top item that is still on your bucket list? Have you checked anything cool or fun off?
I don’t really have a bucket list, but if I did, I would say living a fully sustainable lifestyle would be at the top. 2nd would be learning how to arc weld.
12. What is an interesting thing about yourself that not a lot of people know?
I was born in the UK and ended up in foster care as a child. At times in my life, I was even homeless. I have come so far and am now an IT professional doing what I love.
